Overview
- Huffelwind’s four 250‑meter turbines in Süddinker can proceed after a legal challenge to Hamm’s immission report failed, with site prep slated for late 2026 and foundations targeted for early 2027.
- The Süddinker project expects about 54 million kWh of annual output—roughly enough for 18,000 households—and the developer is entering bank financing talks and negotiating procurement with BBWind and Vestas.
- Huffelwind plans local participation that includes transferring one turbine to a new energy cooperative with a 25% revenue share, optional payments to nearby households, and municipal receipts from the 0.2‑cent EEG levy.
- Energiekontor secured permits and financing for 13 Vestas V162‑7.2 turbines at Haberloh and Heidkrug, with roadworks from February 2026, tower erection through mid‑2027, planned operation by October 2027, and subsidy deadlines at end‑2028.
- Energiekontor will pilot a ‘Strombonus’ of about €60–€90 per year for households within 2.5 km, while county officials warn that limited grid capacity and new battery‑storage applicants could crowd out wind projects, with a capacity overview expected by Christmas and roughly 300 planned turbines representing about 800 MW in scope.
